When did you feel your first kick?

bootsandheels · February 2012

I'm 21 weeks and still haven't felt any kicks. I'm not a super thin person so I'm wondering if perhaps I just have more padding than other moms?

I felt them around 18 weeks but they weren't confirmed until my a/s...during that, she elbowed me and I felt it as it happened and I recognized the feeling...otherwise I would still be wondering myself...

I just started to feel her this week. Im 20 weeks. I'm not super thin either but she is stuck on my right side due to a very large fibriod and a bicorniate uterus. That may play a factor in why I'm feeling her.

I felt flutters really early with this one but discernable kicks only started a few weeks ago and those were the low, pelvic/bladder kicks. I'm just starting to feel kicks on the sides and see movement outside but only because I can feel her kick inside and I'm watching for it.

They get stronger every week now.

I felt our little girl for the first time the day I turned 17 weeks. I'm average weight and this is my first baby, so I was surprised I felt it so early. You should feel something soon, and when you do, you'll know. It's an amazing feeling!

I was almost 21 weeks when I felt him for the first time.

I was 10 weeks 4 days when I felt this little one for the first time. I didn't start feeling actual kicks til around 15-16 weeks.

I felt my first at 18 weeks but they still aren't consistent, I can go days without feeling any still.

I'm in the same boat, and am also wondering if it's because of my weight.

I felt flutters around 14 weeks and my husband felt her kick at 19 weeks. With my first, I didn't feel flutters until 17 weeks.

sassafras007 · February 2012

My DD was a lot earlier but honestly I can say I just started feeling them yesterday without me pushing on my belly first.

mandisita86 · February 2012

I felt mine at 19 weeks to the day. He has been very active ever since!

GracieBlue · February 2012

I didn't feel kicks until 21 weeks and a few days!

ajbezo · February 2012

I am 20 weeks and a couple days and still haven't felt anything. At the a/s on Thursday I saw her move but still can't feel it.

I started feeling mine when I turned 17 weeks. It started off as a tapping feeling that I was question at first but became a regular feeling. Now at 20 weeks, she feels like a massive gas bubble is trying to build up around my belt line. I'd say that my starting built was a little bigger than average.

Pookie05 · February 2012

Just over 19 weeks was my first solid kick. I have about one a day now but they are still sporadic. Yesterday I was a complete emotional wreck over some unfortunate news from our anatomy scan. She was in a kicking fit! Either trying to get my attention and remind me that she's still there and OK, or to stop crying because my constant abdominal contractions are bugging her. Big Smile

I didn't start feeling definite kicks until just a couple days ago, but I had been feeling what I'm pretty sure was movement for about a week and a half.

chouli77 · February 2012

Week 16 for me, but I have a postserior placenta.

sam19 · February 2012

Is it weird that I don't even remember anymore? I'd probably say around 18/19 weeks.

Socialworkgirl · February 2012

I am 21 weeks and haven't felt anything yet...

kdjudd · February 2012

I felt my first kick around 18 weeks. At first I wasn't positive that it was the baby I was feeling, but the further along I got the more it became obvious. Now I feel her all the time!

Laur156 · February 2012

at 17 weeks... I was up way later than usual and literally laying in bed staring at the celing. It felt more like a roll to me, and then I didn't feel anything for days.

Now I feel flutters and tiny jabs, but only if I am sitting or laying down and not preoccupied with other things.

sheilatakesabow · February 2012

i didn't feel my first kick until 21.5 weeks. now i feel her all the time. don't worry!

GeekFantasy · February 2012

I never felt flutters at all, just major kicks, which started at about 19 weeks. I would go a few days without feeling LO but now I do every day, and they can be felt from the outside and I can see them.

khill86 · February 2012

I felt some flutters around 17 weeks but couldn't be sure that it was the baby. At 17w5d I could feel the little guy roll around in there. I knew for sure it was the baby. After that I was feeling little flutters here and there but still couldn't be positive that it was always the baby. At my 20 week appointment, my doctor asked if I was starting to feel some movement. I told her I was, but only a handful of times that I could be sure were the baby. She said it was totally normal and that within a few weeks they would get stronger and I should have more certainty. Now I'm feeling some pokes and jabs here and there that I know are definitely him, but I still get flutters and just general movement. Yesterday I hardly felt the baby at all. This morning I had a very obvious kick. They are definitely getting stronger!

Thanks everyone! I think I'm starting to feel her shift, no kicks, just general movement. Apparently I have an anterior placenta which explains why I can't feel anything in the front!
